You are missing the point! It has nothing to do with defence. It has two
objectives:
1. Start a "new" arms race and bankrupt China.
2. Move large amounts of money from US taxpayers to US shareholders.

Everything else is salesman’s banter.

Na, Dave! has it right, all it is going to do is save the attacking country ~
10 billion dollars or so, on ICBM research as well as Special Weapons
(Gas/Bugs/Nukes).

It's a farce.  An expensive farce, that I don't think will bankrupt China, and
as you say, will transfer a large $$$ to the shareholders.
